A painting on a sago palm spathe for the façade of a Korombo ceremonial house. Depicting an ancestor standing grimacing, hands on hips, the body is painted white and the face a yellow ochre pigment. His open mouth reveals his teeth and seems to echo the painted motif on his bust. Abélam people, South Maprik, Papua New Guinea Pigments, sago palm spathe, plant fibers, framed under glass. 115 x 25.5 cm, framed (126 x 36 cm).
